some good, some alright, some are pretty bad. here's my thoughts on all (in the order I played them):
- The Pay Is Nice: it's fine. nothing special
- Don't Go Out: not a fan of this one at all. it doesn't tell you what you're supposed to be doing and it seems the only way to win is to go inside the house and walk back and forth around the skeleton. didn't even use the cards once i figured that out.
- Carthanc: this one looks cool, but god this game is super frustrating. high speed first person platforming while being chased by a bunch of weird ghost things. it was intense at first but i got really annoyed with it.
- Hand of Doom: LOVE the idea behind this one, and the aesthetic. the actual game is pretty simple, but this one's concept could be fleshed out into a really cool game.
- Shatter: love the way this one looks, reminded me of kittyhorrorshow's stuff. the writing isnt bad either! only problem was i felt like the stamina meter should've only existed during the chase sequence, it was annoying to have to move slowly all the time otherwise.
- Summer Night: probably my favorite in the collection (not surprising as it comes from the dev of FAITH). like playing through an actual video game creepypasta.
- The Pony Factory: the other best one (again, not surprising as this one is from David Szymanski). actually a really fun little fps that manages to be both fast paced AND scary.
- Outsiders: a pretty cool little randomized keyhunt that gradually gives you more hints each time you die. i was annoyed by how many times i had to try but slowly figuring out what to do was pretty cool. the ending is worth it.
- Rotgut: sorry, this one sucks. worst one in the whole collection. i walked down an empty tunnel for nearly 20 minutes and nothing happened. apparently its about the journey and not the destination. i think you should make something happen on that journey then. not to mention this is a buggy mess that sometimes doesn't stay crossed off on the main menu.
- Mr. Bucket Told Me To: not terrible, but pretty annoying to play. was surprising to find out that one of the writers from Hypnospace Outlaw (a game i absolutely adore) worked on this.
all in all, really like this little anthology idea and will be keeping up with it as best i can! i already downloaded 2
